Test Frame
Test frame with hydraulic cylinder for compression strength test in strain gauged column according to DIN EN 12390-4 and class 1 according to DIN EN 7500-1 in the specified measuring range. In the basic configuration, the framework is designed for force-controlled tests, whereby the force value is determined via a strain gauge pressure sensor. Optionally a position measuring system can be installed. The massive steel frame is extremely stiff, the columns are tensioned without any play. The hydraulic cylinder is made from solid material and is attached utilizing an external clamp holder. The end position is monitored by a mechanical limit switch.
Samples:
- Cubes (edge length): 200, 150, 100mm (auxiliary platens required)
- Cylinders (height) 320, 300, 200mm
- Devices (height) up to 330mm e.g. splitting tensile.
- Other samples possible.
Safety: The test frame with a control cabinet fulfills all requirements according to DIN EN 12390-4 and DIN EN ISO 7500-1.
The complete machine is delivered with an EC declaration of conformity and operating instructions according to the Machinery Directive 2006/42 / EG. Large area of the testing machine is equipped with an impact-resistant, transparent test room protection made of polycarbonate. The position of the protective door is monitored with a tamper-proof, 2-channel security hinge. When the door is open, the hydraulic unit is redundantly depressurized.
Control Cabinet SV-EDCi
Control cabinet with main switch incl. under-voltage release and emergency stop switch, as well as a Schuko plug on the front panel. Electrical Connection: 1~240V, 50/60Hz, 3~480V, 50/60Hz.
Hydraulic System
The powerful hydraulic unit with oil tank incl. all necessary safety, control and directional valves according to DIN 4413. It generates a maximum system pressure of 350 bar A fine 3µm pressure filter in the pressure line is filtering the hydraulic oil and protecting the system components. Incl. filter pollution, oil level and temp switch (70 ° C) The hydraulic unit is inside of the control cabinet providing low noise operation <68 dB (A). A high-quality servo valve or variable-frequency drive for pressure or volume flow control enables the most precise force and stroke control (closed-loop control). An additional low-pressure pump for the quick stroke function and an oil-air cooler (for long test scenarios).
Measuring and Control Electronics
A Doli EDCi controller is used for universal digital measuring and control electronics for these testing machines. This is installed in the control cabinet and can optionally be operated with a remote control. The control electronics enables a fully automatic test execution with given loading speeds for force-controlled tests (position and strain controlled tests optional). With sensitive and adjustable break detection, the failure of the sample is detected early. Communication to the PC: Ethernet socket / USB 2.0 configurationRemote maintenance via TeamViewer function (PC required).
